| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a three-quarter-length portrait of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in full military uniform, wearing goggles on his cap and his Pour le Mérite decoration at the throat, positioned in the left foreground. Behind him, a detailed scene of the North African campaign shows artillery pieces and soldiers in combat. The arc legend 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF EL ALAMEIN runs along the upper field, with the commemorative dates 1942-1992 inscribed on a raised tablet at centre right, and the denomination 50 DOLLARS in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Belize issued a series of gold commemoratives in the early 1990s depicting figures from World War II, and Rommel's inclusion alongside Allied commanders in that same series raised eyebrows at the time. The choice was purely commercial — aimed at the international collector market, where Rommel's name reliably sold coins regardless of the issuing nation's relationship to the conflict. Belize had none.
